Description
Product Overview
The Hydrophane Cribox Tub 16oz is a specialized equestrian care product formulated to address the persistent problem of cribbing, gnawing, and other undesirable chewing behaviors in horses. Crafted from high‑quality cotton, the ointment delivers a gentle yet effective barrier that discourages horses from biting or chewing on tack, stalls, and other stable fixtures. Each tub contains 450 grams (approximately 16 ounces) of a multicolored, easy‑to‑apply ointment that adheres to surfaces without leaving a greasy residue. The product dimensions of the tub are compact, measuring 3.75 x 4 x 4 inches, making storage simple and space‑efficient. Weighing just 0.51 kilograms, the tub is lightweight enough for easy handling yet robust enough to withstand the rigors of daily stable use. The Hydrophane brand, known for its reliable equine care solutions, ensures that the formulation meets stringent quality standards, providing a consistent texture and potency across each batch. The basic style of the Cribox Tub emphasizes functionality over ornamentation, focusing on delivering a practical solution for horse owners, trainers, and stable managers who seek to protect their equipment and promote healthier horse behavior.
Usage
Applying the Hydrophane Cribox Tub ointment is straightforward and can be incorporated into routine stable maintenance. Begin by cleaning the surface of the tack or stall area where cribbing is most frequent, ensuring the area is dry before application. Using a clean cloth or the provided applicator, spread a thin, even layer of the ointment directly onto the target surface. The cotton base allows the ointment to bond securely, creating a deterrent that remains effective for several days before re‑application is needed. This product is ideal for use on bridles, reins, halters, and even on wooden or metal surfaces of stalls where horses tend to chew. Because the ointment is non‑toxic and odorless, it poses no risk to the horse or the stable environment. Regular application, especially during periods of increased stress or boredom, can significantly reduce the incidence of cribbing, leading to longer equipment lifespan and a calmer, more content horse. The tub’s multicolored appearance also adds a subtle visual cue, reminding caretakers to monitor and maintain the deterrent regularly.
